The grocery list.
- Shallots – As someone that hates wasting food, it’s so frustrating to me when you need something for a recipe, but you only end up using a little bit of it and then the rest gets wasted. This is especially annoying when the ingredient is produce, because you can’t necessarily save it and use it in the future, since it probably won’t last more than a week. One solution is to pickle the leftover vegetable!
- Red wine vinegar – Vinegar is necessary for pickling because of its acidity.
- Honey (or granulated sugar) – Shallots are a bit sweet, so the honey will enhance the sweetness a bit.
- Kosher salt – Kosher salt is perfect for pickling because it comes without any additives.
- Red pepper flakes – These are optional for if you want to add a little bit of spice to your Quick Pickled Shallots.
The preparation.
These are called Quick Pickled Shallots for a reason! All you need is a mason jar and all your tasty ingredients from the grocery list. Place all the ingredients in a mason jar, seal it tightly and shake! Allow the shallots to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before you use them.
You can store your Quick Pickled Shallots in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
